Mine is like that too. It is like a car in winter sometimes. I also built mine.

 

I'm beat from indoor karting, no one was there at 10pm on a Friday so the let us run extended races. I haven't driven VIR yet so I gotta get on some tomorrow.

 

Had to overexpose these pictures as the iPhone does not do well in low light and the colors are off. For example the quick release hub on the wheel is bright red but looks purple.






Tried to take a few different angles to show the frame. I have it on the smallest setting but both the wheel and pedals can move independent of each other and the seat as well. There is a shifter mount but I don't have it installed as I am still waiting on my shifter to arrive.

As for the BMW badge I am an Audi/Porsche fanatic so I will be covering the badge with a Porsche sticker in the near future!

 

Way to big


The idea is to scale things to actual size

The sim tries to do this

Your brain functions best when things r to scale

If the proportions of the things ur eyes see and ur brain tries to compute are not to scale
U cannot judge what the sim is trying to tell u


Had a 45 min discussion about this with one of the best motion rig manufacturers

 

I'm going to your place for the movies. Replays have to be great at that size.

 

Captain obvious!

Please go back one page(240) and see where I wrote:
"Mine is far from "normal" as my sim rig is currently in my home theater using the 120" screen until I get an Oculus Rift. I'll post a pic later tonight just to add to the variety."

I know it is not ideal. This is a temporary setup until my retail Oculus Rift arrives. I don't see the point in buying stands and 3 monitors only to replace them in the near future with a superior item. Also I don't want the footprint that triples plus stands plus the sim rig takes up. Once I have the Rift I get my home theater back!

That said my eyes are 7ft away from the 120" screen. Those on small computer monitors are usually sitting 2-3ft away from the screen. This is what the FoV calculator in the game compensates for. I lose the ability to see ANYTHING at all on my sides (cant even see side mirrors) by running a narrow 72* FoV but the virtual steering wheel (when turned on) and gauge displays "appear" to be the correct size given my distance from the screen. If you stand 1-2ft from my screen then yes of course they are larger than life but that's not where I am driving from. Some individuals are not able to process this, while others are, kind of like those hidden/3D paintings.

While I'm no "alien" I am able to do respectable lap times for just having started iRacing 3 weeks ago so I don't think it is anywhere as impossible to drive as you suggest.

 

I fixed it for you
Come on over but IL to CT is kinda far for a movie!

 

No it was iRacing replays is what I was saying.

 

Can someone tell me what mid-pack lap times should be at VIR. Just learning it...

 

I'd guess 1:53?

 

I just put up an open practice.

 

Computer doesn't boot?

Starts

Then windows tries

Then 3 dark screens

Zero output to monitors... They r not on... Red light not green... In sleep mode

Reboot? Video card loose?

 

Ted list your components please. Motherboard, ram, processor, etc. did it boot before or i has it not booted since you built it? If your motherboard has onboard video pull your card at and try and boot without it.
